Table 19 (2017)

Eloise still attends the wedding at which she was supposed to be the maid of honour, even though she was dumped by the bride's brother, but gets seated at the losers' table.

"Table 19" is a romantic comedy, although it's not obvious until near the end, acting like a regular comedy until then. The presence of several comedy veterans (Stephen Merchant, Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson) is felt and welcomed, and the film has an undeniable beneficial effect.

Booksmart (2019)

Doua prietene cele mai bune, cuminti si cu rezultate bune la scoala, vaneaza o petrecere in ultima zi de liceu pentru a putea spune ca nu au petrecut tot timpul doar invatand.

O comedie cu adolescenti un pic diferita, in principal pentru ca se centreaza pe o pereche de fete. Este foarte original, amuzant si emotional exact cat trebuie, va deveni probabil un film cult, va fi citat adesea doarece dialogul contine multe replici ce merita atentie. Poate parea oarecum incet pe alocuri dar asta este in ton cu povestea si amalgamul de aventuri in care se lasa "luate" cele doua eroine. Va multumi pe toti amatorii de political corectness (personaje principale feminine cu gusturi sexuale variate si o regizoare femeie) sau ar trebui sa multumeasca - mereu apar moduri nebanuite prin care un film este partial ofensiv.
